That does make for an uncomfortable situation to have to explain to
management that it is a Harriet look alike....but I would do it in a
heartbeat.

I did! And I talked to the head of maintenance. She said that the
problem was with the folks above her (Kayla's owners) and with someone
in the next court, who has been letting their Pit Bull run loose.
Surprisingly, it was not the same Pit Bull that I always see running
loose. Now, why they can't just deal with those people and leave
everyone else out of it, beats me.

I've noticed a sudden lack of land mines on the front laws and
sidewalks, which is good. I hope this means that Kayla's owners got the
message. They do seem to be taking the dogs out back more often, and
I've seen them out walking in the neighboorhood, as well. Of course,
they still aren't picking up after their dogs, which is going to get
people in the neighborhood pissed off at them. I don't walk my dog in
the same area that they do, though, so I'm keeping my nose out of it.

I would imagine that management may still give Kayla's
owners a warning before ousting them and if someone has got to be
looking for a new home I don't think it should be you and Harriet.

The notice said that they'd be charging a $50 fine and revoking pet
leases (not one then the other, but both, and there was no mention of an
initial warning). Note that the human's lease is not going to be
revoked. That means that those tenants would have to get rid of their
pet(s) or pay out the rest of their lease and move or get a subletter
(assuming that would be allowed by the management company).
